GL account can not be directly posted to

[Former Member]

Hi,

1. I am creating an account assigned PO for a material. And system is picking up the consumption account from automatic account assignement.

2. While posting the GRN system is giving me an error message saying that "GL account can not posted directly.

3. I can avoid this error by removing the tick of auto posting only in GL master.

4. But if i do that system will allow me to post to this GL account through FI transactions also. Which is wrong and i dont want to happen.

Can you suggest something so that i dont need to make this GL allowable for direct posting and it allows to do GRN for the same.

You can create a validation against the GL account and Doc type.

When you post a GRN you have a specific Document type.

You can have a rule that says if you post to GL XXXXX and if the Doc type does not equal "YY" then error where "YY" is the document type you use for GRN's.

Please award points if useful.
